MANY THANKS! MOVING AHEAD WITH THE GRACES GIVEN!

By the time you get this Charisletter we will have just finished hosting the National Leaders and Ministries Conference for Catholic Charismatic Renewal. I want to thank all the people who volunteered their time, prayers and energy in serving the many needs we had in host-ing this conference. I am thankful to: -Carmen Frankel (Conference Administrator), Edward Flores (Facilities Manager); -The heads for various teams (Bev Neubert, Virginia Corolla, Delfina Sepulveda, Domingo Flores, Karen Adams, Mario Ortiz, Jim Coronado, Angel Madrid, the Brothers of the Beloved Disciple, Ruth Siller, Amalia Hensely, Benito Morales); -Helpers on prayer teams and intercessory ministry; -Norma Alaniz and the Bookstore team; -Ros Hernandez (Spanish Track); -Delfie Garcia, Fr. Will Combs, BBD and team (Young Adult Track). I am very thankful to all of you and many others who helped us! May the Lord enable us to see and follow his vision for Charismatic Renewal in the Archdiocese of San Antonio. May we be inspired and united in moving ahead with the Lord. Let us enter fully into this time of grace!

We have two events this month that I hope you can attend: November 17, 2012 (10 am to 12:30 pm at CCCR): The third presentation of our Fall Teaching Series will be on the theme, “This is the Time of Fulfillment: Believe.” Fr. Ed Hauf, OMI and Carmen Frankel will help us to enter into the Year of Faith (proclaimed by Pope Benedict) and grow in “Spirit-filled faith.” This is the beginning of our preparations for our Regional Conference on March 1-2, 2013 on the theme, “Faith on Fire.” Please en-courage your prayer group members to attend and invite a friend. December 1, 2012 (10 am): Our Yearly bilingual Washing of the Hands Mass with Bishop Tom Flanagan (St. Henry Church) with a social afterwards (CCCR). At this Mass we have the opportunity to renew as a community our commitment to be servants of God’s work in Catholic Charismatic Renewal for the good of the Church. Please encourage all your prayer group members to attend. At these two events we will be passing out information (posters and registration forms) about our Regional Conference on March 1-2, 2013.

KID’S ARTICLE Last week before the cold front blew in, the weather changed to a brisk wind. My mother-in-law was helping my 5 year old daughter, Julia, out of the truck. My mother in law said, “My goodness, it is so windy.” Julia re-sponded with, “It’s God. He’s in the

wind and in the air. He is everywhere.” She caught my mother in law off guard. She was so moved that Julia would automatically go into a God Moment.

I was helping my 8 year old son, Abram, with his history. He was read-ing about Jacob and Esau. It was de-scribing how Abraham sent his servant to find a suitable woman for his only son, Issac. I knew that I would need to elaborate on the word, “suitable”. I asked him, “Do you know what suita-

ble means”? He slowly asked, “A woman in a suit”? I laughed because I KNEW he didn’t know the answer, but I hadn’t thought of the possibilities coming from an 8 year old. But yes, that would make perfect sense. Gotta love these kids! Both sent by: Erica, San Antonio, TX

MINISTRIES IN THE CCCR

We thank God for blessing us and all the people who come to the Catholic Center for Charismatic Renewal. We want to let you know what goes on here during the work days and how you and people who come to minister, truly help us and you. We remind you that on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays special teams come serve and tend to the ministry. They are dedicated teams who work together to give of their time, talent and prayer. Tuesdays at 10:00 am, there is prayer, worship and mass. On 2nd Tuesday of the month, Bishop Tom Flanagan does the mass and anointing of the sick. Before mass the group sings, prays and shares. Thursdays, 9:30 to 11:30, there is praise, worship and teachings. Teams are available for prayer for the sick. Fridays, there is a Healing Mass at 12:00 noon in the CCCR Chapel. There is always time for sharing, praising and healing. If you have never visited the CCCR, come sometime to the services. It is never too crowded and you can also visit the bookstore, especially as we get close to the Christmas vacation. Again, we thank you for your support of this great move-ment of the Holy Spirit. May he continue to bless you and use you in your ministry and beyond. Sincerely in the Lord, Rosbel (Ros) Hernandez, CCCR
